Titanic Inverness Maritime Museum

The Titanic Inverness Maritime Museum is an interactive and evolving maritime museum with nautical artifacts, large model ships such as Titanic and submarines made from improvised recycled materials.

 

The museum opened its doors to its first visitor on April 10th 2012, the 100th anniversary of the sailing of the RMS Titanic.

 

• Marvel at the magnificent Titanic 1:10 scale model which size allows you to go inside and explore the Parisian cafe’, the bridge and the Marconi wireless room. 
• Get claustrophobic in the sphere of the replica Nautile submarine, one of the mini submersibles that dives 3 miles down to the Titanic.
• Send an SOS on the Marconi wireless and hear the awesome roar of the Titanic’s fog horn.
• Peruse the many images of the Titanic in the main building and view art deco ship posters of the era.
• Step on board and bait some creels on the Guiding Star,a West Coast creel fishing boat which was the last built at Inverness’s Thornbush slipway.
• Find things to see and do in the 10 ton steel wheel house of the Achieve fishing trawler from Fraserburgh’s east coast.
